Yes, I do the same thing! I go to appointments or meetings and they end up being on a different day. Its very embarrassing to have to explain why I missed an important event. I have a hard time adjusting to a new schedule each semester. Its half way through the semester before I know all my classes and I sat in the wrong class before bc I mixed up my monday class with my thursday class. I also can remember people.I have to see a picture or something if its been awhile. Its like the (tip of the tongue phenomenon *googled that spelling. But it occurrs 24-7). As for college they do not offer accomidations other than more time for taking test (which I do need bc its hard to fully read, comprehend, and answer questions on long exams like mid-terms and finals) They also allow a quite room for taking tests. That is it. No other accomidations. I do know in primary school they would have read things out to me and made sure I fully understood the questions before answering them. I dropped out of highschool when I was sixteen because I was failing every subject. I had been held back in 6th grade and again in 8th. I was tired and just couldnt grasp academics. Now that Im older I have been able to make myself focus, and work through the frustration. I would like help for when I am a teacher. I heard if I get a proper diagnosis from a physician, I can have a mentor to look over my work. Because I make these "weird" "careless" <-- but not careless bc I do try my best. But, bc I make mistakes, I am afraid parents will notice and get upset bc Im teaching their children. I should know how to spell and write properly. But, if I cant catch my own mistakes, I would like a mentor to take a look over my monthly news letter before I send it home to the parents to read. So my main concern is for my career. The only Ive ever wanted to be is an Elementary Teacher and I have literally dedicated my life to this dream!
